Getting older sure makes meal planning difficult!

Attending a small dinner party tonight for 3 couples. We are all contributing.
Of the 6 we have : one non-meat eater, one non-fish eater, one celiac, one with Crohn's( so no celery, corn or small seeds) and one with cholestorol issues. Then there's me. I eat way too much of anything! Sure makes for a difficult menu!

I went to a birthday dinner party for 9 people last Sat. We had two that would not eat meat but seafood is OK; one who is allergic to any seafood; another who loves seafood but is allergic to clams. And I thought our party is difficult to deal with
Luckily, the tapas restaurant was so accommodating that everyone enjoyed the dinner

I really don't see why its that difficult. We plan a party and invite friends. If they are concerned about the menu they should ask prior to accepting. If they don't like what we are serving, then bring your own.

I like Joe L's idea the best........keep things simple.....of course I am not fussy, so anything goes with me for food!

Any party I had would be ruined for me if I had to deal with all kinds of issues and I would never expect a host or hostess to accomodate me if I had a problem, I would ask and bring my own , stay home or go out to eat, or go to party and not eat LOL.

I agree with bezerk. Often I am dieting, and I have to adjust to whatever is being served. We don't often know what people can and cannot eat anyway....but when did it get so complicated anyway??
